Perpetual double-medic ubersaw ubercharge!

Hopefully this gets nerfed soon. Probably just needs to be so that the ubersaw doesn’t charge your ubercharged while YOU are actually ubercharged.

Cheers to Janordy for the video

Part of the problem is that the other team is full of moron medics farming the new achievements that don’t have a clue how to play. Not sure if this would work as well against a better team.

theBond from Gib$Ru$ wrote in mentioning the promo video they’ve done for their Dustbowl server. (24/7, instaspawn, instateleports - messy. I like it!)

They’re invoking memories of 80s sitcoms, Cheers in particular. My parents used to love that show when I was a kid, we watched it every Tuesday night. I got pissed off cause Knight Rider was on the other channel and I wasn’t allowed to watch it. Yeah, back when Woody Harrelson had hair, Kirsty Alley wasn’t doing reality TV about dieting, Ted Danson was actually well known (although he was pretty good in Damages), and Kelsey Grammer wasn’t Frasier… No wait, he was Frasier in that as well.

It’s all warm and fuzzy like, where every one knows your name. You can almost hear Norm and Cliff hollering for another beer.

This video was shot on the Gib$Ru$ server.Join us on the Gib$Ru$ 24/7 Dustbowl server, where its Dustbowl all the time. Unique mods such as instant respawn, and instant teleporters seperate the server from the rest, along with friendly [Gib$Ru$] guild members.

Team Fortress 2: Dustbowl to Cheers Theme Song from Sean Joudry on Vimeo.

The Escapist (home to the inimitable Zero Punctuation) has interviewed the Team Roomba lads.

There is talk of griefing videos (as we’ve seen a couple of times before), and the ethical implications thereof.

Arriving at the initial crest of enthusiasm toward Valve’s Team Fortress 2, Team Roomba’s video showing an array of petty, hilarious and oft imaginative cruelty was an immediate memetic sensation. Griefing is usually little more than plain sadism; but with the right soundtrack and frame-perfect editing, Team Roomba’s videos have turned it into - whisper it - a kind of comedy performance. Or, at least, something other than just being a douchebag.

No mention of an an apology for getting Celine Dion stuck in my brain (again).

Everyone has been asking why I haven’t posted the meet the scout vid yet.

Well, I had a bit of a family thing at the last minute - my Grandad died. He was 80, and a great guy. He had lived a good life, was mentally and physically sound, but he was old and that wouldn’t have lasted much longer. It was just his time. He went out quickly and with his dignity with a sudden heart attack. Everyone thought that was much better than slowly decaying over the next decade or so and causing pain for him and the family. He was much loved and there must have been at least 400 people at the funeral.

So I had to book a last minute flight back home to see him off, and now I’m staying with relatives in non-broadband land. This is about the first time I’ve been online.

Apparently Valve has spies watching me, and knows that the only time they can get away with big news releases is when I’m not around to poke fun at them, cause as soon as I was under internet radio silence, they pumped out the Latest Meet The Team Vid:

Meet The Scout.

So until I get somewhere that transfers faster than 3kb/s, I won’t be watching it for a while. But it’s Valve, so I’m sure it’s all good.

The evils that come from Team Roomba know no limits.
After a couple of griefing attempts and a Pyro music video, the latest shenanigans to come from their way involves a bunch of sweaty Team Fortress 2 geeks with little to no musical talent playing the “My Heart Will Go On: Karaoke Mod” on the 2for2furious.com server. I kid you not.

The big question is though: Can we put this on a server in my area?. I WANT IN!

Xanatos and the Janus Syndicate (who gave the world Get In Shape) have recorded another TF2 machinima. This time they take on Clint Eastwood and the whole spaghetti western genre.

As we all know, it has been statistically proven by science that Clint is the greatest action film hero ever. That old school trademark scowl puts to shame any posturing done by todays wannabe film heroes.

Consider:

Honestly, I have no idea how Matt Damon became a “cool” action star.

Anyway…

A group of townspeople are constantly being run out of their town, used, and abused by a skillful gang of bandits. They’ve had enough, and they’re out to find someone to best them and someone who can train them in this 17 min. western/action/comedy/parody.

Cheers to Garrys Mod news where this was spotted at.

Daxter241 has assembled together a sweet selection of Posed Team Fortress 2 scenes made with Garrys Mod.

Even including all the ubercharged pics that I’ve posted at various times

Nice.

Crink has put together a nice Team Fortress 2 frag fest. There’s a good mix of classes in there, and some funny kills.

The music rocks as well. More TF2 vids should use Irish-punk style songs

Oh yeah, some rude words used in the title, so if you’re sensitive (or 5 years old), don’t watch it.

(He was hacking, he was on a n00b server, it was staged, it wasn’t really that good. There, I’ve said it all for you, so you don’t all need to add your little quips complaining about the vid in the comments)

The talented Russians from Tetris-Inside have put together a kick ass spy tribute Team Fortress 2 machinima vid. Some real nice editing and camera work in this one.

I’m sure they’ve got some very intelligent TF2 commentary on their site, but not being able to read Russian, it kinda makes as much sense as most of the Pyro’s ramblings to me.

There’s a low-budget youtubery version out there as well if your bandwidth sucks.

Spotted over at the Control Point forums.

And Now For Something Completely Different

Katana has put together an authentic Monty Python style vid done Team Fortress 2 style. If John Cleese and the gang played TF2, this is how it would be.

A number of humorous sketches filmed in Team Fortress 2. I didn’t really have any ideas as to how I could correlate them, but I hope you can enjoy it anyway.

All it really needed was a giant foot coming down and squashing everyone, and it would have been perfect.

Cheers to John for the link

Update I tracked down a nicer res version at Vimeo and embedded that one instead. If you’re on a slow connection, and want the crappola Youtube version, you can check it out here.
